shmanks 21 Report post Posted March 31, 2015 Really?? I went at the beginning of May last year and it seemed like the run was just starting and I hit the peak a few days later. Just looked at my messages and it was May 11th lol was a long winter last year. Would love to see some rain no more of this damn snow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

offroader 49 Report post Posted April 15, 2015 Anyone think the smelt will be running end of April beginning of May ? Trying to plan the gf coming here and timing with dad's friend ... I'm guessing around mid May myself. Some heavy rain might ramp it up a week or so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benji 67 Report post Posted April 16, 2015 That most certainly was rain on my parade .... Thanks for your help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SILVER MINNOW BAIT SHOP 129 Report post Posted April 20, 2015 Im thinking they'll be running here in 1.5 to 2 weeks from now. There just starting around the sault area...most likely by this friday they will be running strong there and its usually a week or ao after they start running there theyll be here. So im guessing end of April early May here! 1 Quote Silver Minnow Bait Shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iron Ranger 125 Report post Posted April 25, 2015 My wife and I went down to the Twin Cities to visit the Grandkids. We all went to the worlds largest Smelt fry in Brooklyn Park MN. It's put on by the Brooklyn Park Lions Club. We having attended for quite a few years now. $ 7.95 per person for all the smelt you can eat. Cocktail sauce and tartar sauce, coleslaw and good rolls to boot.Our Grandkids ate them out of house and home. Quote 20 years ago we had Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Steve Jobs. Now we have no Cash, no Hope and no Jobs. Please God, don't take Kevin Bacon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gsambray 172 Report post Posted April 26, 2015 Got a few from current river. Lots of ice in spots and even lots of snow on the elevator side. Tried mcvickers creek and there were a bunch of people there and I did fairly well. Kept enough for a meal and sizes weren't too bad either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
